Last year, we again had enough campers that we broke into multiple groups, giving us choices of people to pick with. This many pickers made for an especially great weekend. Patagonia Lake is the perfect oasis in southern Arizona for hiking, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and boating. All these activities, and bluegrass jamming in between! There will be several scheduled jams throughout the weekend. And like last year, we will have a select DBA band performing for the park Saturday around 4:30 pm under the ramada at the beach.
We camp in an area in the WEST campground where campsites (78 -> 102) surround a large circle of grass and shade trees where we put up canopies for our get-togethers. The sites around the area go fast, so make your reservations right away if you would like to attend. If you make a reservation now and need to cancel, as long as you cancel 2 days before, all but $3.20 (reservation fee) will be returned to you.
See our newsletter for pictures and articles about previous campouts.
Most sites have electricity and water. There is a bathroom with showers. There is a dumping station on the way out. There are also cabins and tent sites.
The park reservation number is: 520-586-2283 (option 1) or you may book online.

If you are not a camper, we hope you will consider coming down for the day on Saturday. The park says “Day visitors” may not be allowed on busy Saturdays; however, a vehicle joining someone on a reserved site IS allowed for a $15 or $20 fee.
Because the lake is such a great getaway and just an hour from Tucson, most spots down there fill up a year in advance. Don’t delay, reserve today.
